White Cliffs of Dover: Why are they so important to the British?What and who helped the chalk cliffs become such a symbol of the nation?
For many people the White Cliffs of Dover are a clear symbol of Britain in the way the Statue of Liberty defines America for many.
In 55BC Julius Caesar arrived with two legions of soldiers looking for a good place to disembark. Instead he faced the towering cliffs and "armed forces of the enemy" on them.
Caesar saw the cliffs as a fortress and something that impeded his invasion.
"The cliffs are still seen as offering the nation some sort of protectiveness, a barrier to those who are unwanted".
